=> As the resolution of our satellite missions improve, the data volume of output products increases, and the share of the computing and storage costs of its products increases too. Let’s assume we are preparing a new satellite mission, for instance a Sentinel-like mission, with the hope of potential use by operational or private users, […]
In a previous post, we showed that spatio-temporal fusion methods would enable to obtain hybrid data with the revisit of the S2-NG mission (3 to 5 days), and the resolution of the Sentinel-HR mission (2 m), with an uncertainty better than the atmospheric correction errors (better than 0.01 in reflectance). In this section, we tested […]
Three years ago, we started the phase-0 study of a mission named Sentinel-HR : S-HR would be a satellite mission to complement Sentinel-2 new generation (S2-NG) with In that study, one of our assumptions was that a lower revisit frequency than that of Sentinel-2 was sufficient. This seems possible because, in most cases, the high frequency […]
Contexte scientifique Le projet SOCCROP, qui a été financé par l’association Planet A, avait pour objectif de développer un indicateur pour quantifier les échanges annuels de CO2 entre les parcelles cultivées et l’atmosphère. Mesurer les flux permet d’accéder à l’évolution des stocks de carbone des sols agricoles. Cet indicateur peut être utile dans différents contextes […]
Update on 25 september 2023 : we have no backlog left in Europe, and the system is catching up on the other regions of the world Update on 9 september 2023 : 25 days processed in a week over France ! We are catching up a bit CNES has bought and built a new HPC […]
=> Dans le cadre de la préparation de la mission Trishna, une question importante concerne la nécessité de corriger les effets directionnels dans les images, ainsi que la méthode à appliquer. Certains d’entre vous sont sans doute familiers de l’effet dit de « hotspot » dans le domaine réflectif, qui a été bien illustré sur notre blog. […]
As announced in a previous post, the aerosol definition of the new 48r1 release of the CAMS auxiliary data has changed as compared to the former 47r1. At that time, we recommended to disable the use of CAMS data with MAJA before we adapt the code. Meanwhile, we have also tested the actual impact on […]
=> Since a few years, my colleagues from THEIA project and from the data campus at CNES, started designing a new processing and distribution center, named Hysope-II. This centre was initially set up for products related to hydrology. It includes a processing center, a catalog, and a distribution center (hydroweb.next). It was developed in the […]
=> Depuis quelques années, mes collègues du projet THEIA et du Campus de la Donnée au CNES, ont entrepris la conception d’un nouveau centre de traitement et de distribution des données liées à l’hydrologie, appelé Hysope-II. Ce centre était initialement destiné à produire et distribuer les données spatiales utiles à l’hydrologie. Il inclut un centre […]
